Peter Zupanc (born January 8, 1982 in Ljubljana) is a retired Slovenian javelin thrower.[1] He represented his nation Slovenia at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also recorded his own personal best of 78.60 metres from the Slovenian Championships in his native Ljubljana.[2] Throughout her sporting career, Zupanc trained for Kronos Athletics Association (Slovene: Atletsko Društvo Kronos).[3]

Zupanc qualified for the Slovenian squad in the men's javelin throw at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by registering a B-standard entry mark of 78.60 metres from the Slovenian Championships.[2][4] Zupanc released a javelin with a satisfying 77.34-metre throw on his third attempt in the qualifying round, nearly an inch shorter of his personal best. Placing twenty-second out of thirty-four athletes in the overall standings, Zupanc failed to advance further to the final.[5][6]
